| Obverse description | The obverse bears the Somali national coat of arms at centre, depicting a quartered shield supported by two leopards rampant, surmounted by a crest of five palm fronds and resting on a scroll, with a five-pointed star in the base. The legend SOMALI REPUBLIC arcs along the upper periphery in bold raised letters, flanked by an inner beaded border. The date 20 20 is divided across the lower field on either side of the arms, and the denomination 2.000 SHILLINGS is inscribed along the lower rim within the beaded border. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a finely detailed high-relief depiction of two African bush elephants facing one another in the foreground, their tusks nearly touching at the centre of the composition, with the iconic snow-capped peak of Mount Kilimanjaro rising in the background across the open savanna. The upper legend AFRICAN WILDLIFE curves along the outer rim, flanked by raised dot separators, while the lower legend reads ELEPHANT · 1kg Ag 999.9, referencing the coin's weight and fineness. The design is framed by a raised rim with a beaded inner border, and the naturalistic rendering of the elephants' textured skin and musculature reflects the high artistic standards of the Bavarian State Mint. |
